Joe: The day you launch a campaign sets the tone of everything

The start of a much-anticipated Twitter event in which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis planned to announce his 2024 Republican presidential bid was repeatedly disrupted Wednesday when Twitter's servers apparently could not handle the surge in traffic. The Morning Joe panel discusses DeSantis' botched campaign rollout.

Joe: The day you launch a campaign sets the tone of everything

Twitter has gotten so bad that it can't even host an audio only event. It doesn't give you confidence in their ability to run a campaign. Just think about it - another Twitter President. . . ..

Elon just used Ron for a trial run before Tucker"s launch.

[veronicamarino]

"Trump will never let you forget." Nailed it!

Breaking News - Elon Musk says Twitter will be able to self-drive your car from Los Angeles to New York city by the end of 2023 if you vote for Ron DeSantis and wear high-heeled white boots while driving and reading Ron's book.

Ron DISASTER, you been warned ⚠️America

I live in FL and DeSantis never has a good day in the eyes of Floridians.

We had a saying in the UK when you went for a job interview, "You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression" .

Real shame. Florida had a law in place that a politician had to resign current seat in order to run for another. They changed it. Should not be able to run for an office while still sitting in one. Resign the governor's office and then run for the presidency. No net

“It was the biggest they ever had”. Where have we heard that before. 😂😂

[panzermike]

Radio has been around since the 1920s. This was laughably embarrassing.

[longjohn]

700, 000 crashed the Twitter servers?!?!?! Right now there are 1, 396, 365 people online on Steam playing CSGO .... and that's just one game

Can't run a podcast but wanna run the country!!!

[kevinkorenke]

"Melting the servers" = having such a poor IT setup that you cant keep up with the equivelant of a minor Twitch stream.

All this shows is that Twitter is in as poor a shape as the Desantis campaign.

Ron DeSaster and his "Please Clap" moment....

[glenbyrd]

What a great illustration as to why the rich and powerful should not hold the reins of power.

[shadowdemon]

Internet lesson for the day: people tuning in to watch the sh!tshow isn't the same as people tuning in as a form of support 😂

[skychristypresents]

They started at 700K listeners, but lost over 1/2 of them during the glitch delays ..

[marquamfurniture]

This launch will NOT BE FORGOTTEN in a "week or two." will live on in perpetuity!

[bbot]

Everything I've heard, nobody was impressed and thought this was an absolute disaster.

Lil puddin fingers vs the twice impeached toddler 😅
